Anti-SOGIE advocates hold dialogue with Sotto: Senate President Vicente Sotto III (2nd, right), Sen. Joel Villanueva (3rd, right) and Deputy Speaker Bro. Eddie Villanueva (right) accept the position papers from anti-SOGIE groups during a dialogue at the Philippine Senate in Pasay City Monday, September 30, 2019. Sotto assured anti-SOGIE advocates that a great majority of senators are supporting their cause. “We can safely say that there is no need for the Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity and Expression (SOGIE) Equality bill. There are enough laws that protect the individual Filipino and not just a particular sector. If we allow it, we will be allowing it to the greater detriment of the majority of the Filipinos,” Sotto said. (PRIB photo by Cesar Tomambo/30 September 2019)
